Birthday Giveaway

To celebrate Step One of my big editing project and birthday, I am giving away 5 ebook copies of Ivory Guard (The Guard Duet #1). It feels like a totally new book to me, and I want to share that with you. As an aspiring indie author it's not always easy. We know that our works need editing, but as often in life it comes down to money.

And at the time I didn't have enough of it to afford an editor.

Hmmm...to publish or not to publish?

I decided to publish, hoping that the proceeds would be enough to allow for a good editor. Unfortunately, there are a lot of editors out there and it was bad luck that I happened to stumble upon the wrong one at first. But then I found Honest and Brutal Edits. H and B actually listened to me when I told them that English was not my native tongue, and that I needed them to have a closer look - especially at syntax and grammar.

So, if you need an affordable, honest and brutal editor...well, then I have an idea who you should go to - just saying.

One peaceful afternoon Lillian finds two angels in her living room - wings and gloriole and all - telling her she is an Ivory. Half human and half angel, she is born to fight for humankind and guard the hellholes where the membrane between worlds is at its weakest. She, an important warrior? Yeah, riiiight.

Life can make you fall...

Raz might be an angel, but he doesn’t do compassion. His job is to train and make her a leader. So Lillian will just have to suck it up when she discovers the deadly truth behind his words. When she does exactly that, he has to admit there’s more to the bookworm than he thought. Much more. But there’s one thing he shouldn’t forget – in his world feelings come with a price. Is he willing to pay?

I'm a German-born author and photographer who suffered from itchy feet until they carried me to South Africa where I finally found my home.
When I'm not off wandering real or imaginary worlds, I love to curl up on the couch and get lost in a good book.
